The addition on the Pet Battles was something I scoffed at when it was announced. I was one of the seemingly few folks that wanted Pandas. Yet, pet battles? I was never going to get into that! I don't get Pokemon, and I assumed pet battles would be lame.
Boy, was I wrong!
I'm going to be hard pressed to get any leveling or questing or achievement hunting done because I'm spending all of my time battling critters.
Addons make this even better. Three that I'm totally hooked on:
- Pet Battle Quality Glow: Tells you in the battle if the pet is poor, common, uncommon or rare. Oh yes!
- BattlePetCount: Mouse-over tooltip will now tell you how many pets of that kind you already have (or don't)! Oh my!
- Pet Journal Enhanced: Sort and filter your Pet Journal. Yay!
Can you pet battle without these? Absolutely. But, why wouldn't you?
